Atlas was actually the wheel Yenko used, but they were never sold anywhere

Joe...if Atlas didn't sell them outside Yenko they would have gone out of business after they made the first set...maybe they made them for other stores or shops..they were knock offs of Americans along with the rest of the look alike wheels...pretty sure American came up with the design and it was just copied by all the rest.

It is fact they were not sold anywhere, as Marlin said, my brother can fill in the details, but basically Yenko commissioned Atlas Foundry to make him some wheels, because (surprise!) he was trying to save money from buying them from American or other "wheel specific" manufacturers. Atlas was also the foundry that cast many other Yenko aluminum parts, including the valve covers for the Yenko Stinger Vega's etc.
